Interesting as I just loaded the latest Nvidia drivers and thought that that update along with the new version of DCS ... Loaded a LOT FASTER on my machine... Weird..

AHH EINSTEIN... YOU LITTLE DEVIL!!

SITHSPAWN Not sure if he already has this module or not, but I am throwing his name in the hat anyway...

Oh no, they have created an F22-Mig-21... :O)

Well thanks I guess, but not sure exactly what you mean.. :huh: It IS a word and according to Merriam Webster... 1: extremely or "]utterly foolish <an asinine excuse> 2: of, relating to, or resembling an ass And I thought it was quite an appropriate description of that guy's ridiculous statements!

No interest here.. Flying straight and level for hours on end so others can top off? I am snoring just thinking about it! We certainly need tankers for this sim, but the AI ones are just fine for me... so.. NOPE

That is not an "interesting suggestion" it is an asinine suggestion... Yeah a Kiowa outperforming a Apache... What little credibility the guy had was completely erased right there.. :doh: EDIT: And my ire is directed at the guy that made the statement, NOT WinterH

Please provide system specs... Are all drivers updated? Make sure .net has the latest updates.. And if you are using WINDOWS 32-bit you are out of luck as only 64-bit is supported..

Disable any firewalls you have and try again..

Thank you I will check Mirillis Action and Dxtory out!:thumbup:

So you propose a fix one day previous outlining work that a 3rd party dev has done on their module and you want another 3rd party to do this for their app... And you wonder why no one has gotten back to you in one day..? Really?

Joker I have the same issues with the auto updater myself so I feel your pain.. Take a look at Skates sticky regarding using the DCS_Updater.exe with command line options... This worked for me... http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030

Yeah just found Skates post on using the repair function and I *think* it may be working correctly now.. Thanks

As usual the auto updater does not work... Can someone please upload a copy of the NEW updater.exe so I can copy this into my install.. Otherwise I will have to completely uninstall and I would really rather not do that... (asnd before everyone asks, this is how I fixed this issue for the last 2 updates.. I simply forgot about this issue and ran it without backing up the file first. Once it is corrupted it is toast) Thanks!

Thanks for the replies folks.. Really appreciate it... I currently have several apps for video editing, my main question was how to record within the game to generate the footage in the first place and it appears FRAPS is the answer... I am still going to checkout a few of those free versions anyway... Simplification is a great thing and if I can find one that does what I need and is SIMPLE to use then all the better.. Besides, who can argue with FREE? Thanks folks!

For the record, pretty much everyone agrees that a dynamic campaign would be the stuff... Just not easily implemented... Read the other threads for more details on why...

I would like to post some videos here shortly but don't know exactly how to do this.. For the folks that have posted videos, what do you use to record the footage and where to upload the videos once you have them? ??

And further research on the net has shown multiple articles by veteran pilots supporting your view that yes you CAN autorotate a helicopter successfully with no tail rotor... Looks like my thoughts on the matter are certainly difficulties that you will need to counteract, but they don't make a crash imminent.. Looks like I will be spending some time researching this further as I really thought that a tail rotor loss was pretty much guaranteed death and that is not the case... My apologies Sondo...

You are not cutting the engine until AFTER the spinning starts.. (You are correct though that once the engine IS cut, the spinning shouldn't get worse it should diminish slowly so I stand corrected there as far as this example goes.) As far as autorotating normally, no you wouldn't because there would still be power being generated by the main rotor and while the opposite effect of spin would not be as drastic as it would be with the engine running, it would still be there and without a tail rotor you would still be spinning out of control... Albeit slightly slower.. Still uncontrolled nonetheless (And this makes my head hurt! LOL) DAMN the dynamics of helicopter flight is a daunting subject for sure.. Try reading the book by Wagtendonk "Principles of helicopter Flight" http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/principles-of-helicopter-flight-w-j-wagtendonk/1008248911?ean=9781560276494 That tomb will give you a headache in no time for sure! LOL

Very nice! Thanks Cobra...

So you are saying that spinning the helicopter completely out of control while attempting a landing is not going to cause a crash? Even if you touch the ground gently you will still have dynamic rollover from the momentum... Remember that the longer you are without a tail rotor the faster the spinning effect will be.. It continuously gets worse and worse.. I am sorry, but almost definitely a crash will ensue..

Hmmm... Devs spend time coding airframes and new maps and fixing bugs... Or they can update the website.. Personally, I like their priorities!

Of course.. Any change requires a revision update as that is the point of revision updates.. If you change something (And something will be changed) then you change the revision.. Why is that surprising?

Nah it was a good question... :thumbup:
